That was the verdict of the refugee aid operation in
“Humanitarianism Unbound”, the widely cited November 1994 paper by Rakiya Omaar and Alex de Waal, investigating the genocide for the now-defunct human rights advocacy NGO African Rights.
Briton Katherine Conlon, an aid worker in Goma with Médecins Sans Frontières at the time, said the intensity of the daily work left “no room to contemplate the bigger picture”. Each working day, she said, her job was to count corpses at the side of the road and then select cholera patients for rehydration from thousands lying on open ground.
In retrospect, Conlon said, aid agencies showed “incredible naivety” about their complicity in sustaining the fleeing “genocidaires”. She noted that aid agencies in Goma had “the world’s media at their fingertips”, which helped them raise an “inordinate amount of funds”.

I have two major issues with Boris Johnson’s plan to unlock England (Step by step: how England’s Covid lockdown will be lifted, 22 February). First, he says it is about data not dates, but the plan has dates that people will set in stone despite caveats, and it has no data-based quantifiable targets that have to be met before each stage progresses. There is no requirement for deaths, hospitalisations or infections to be lower than specific amounts, so at the appropriate points he will be subject to the political pressures from his lunatic wing to continue to open up even if the data does not justify it.
